I emailed the letter to my dad last night and he called me at 11:30 PM to tell me how much it meant to him. Very little was said between us but I could tell by his voice how much it meant to him.

I'm proud of the guys on HNI. What a great group of people. I see that a lot of you have the same feelings, sentiments, and passion for hunting, life, and family as I do.

Life flies by way too fast and if we are "too busy" to take the time to relax and spend time in the woods by ourselves or with loved ones soon it will be too late and we've missed out on one of the greatest joys of life. I've been guilty of that over the past few years and decided his year it was time to get back in the game.

Good luck to all of you this hunting season.
